Hoke County Schools is conducting a public review of board policies related to student behavior, school safety, discipline procedures, and student rights. The district is using a phased review process so that each set of policies may be considered in smaller, more manageable groups.

Please give your feedback for Review Group 6: https://www.hcs.k12.nc.us/p/~board/district-announcements/post/stakeholder-feedback-on-behavior-policies-1780433801872

Feedback gathered during each review window will be used to identify common themes, questions, and possible areas for clarification or revision as the district continues the policy review process.

Thank you Burlington Industries 💙🦅💛

This week we thanked our wonderful teachers (and across the street neighbors) at Upchurch Elementary by providing catered breakfast 😋 This was possible because of none other than T.S McMillan Catering Co! We hope everyone enjoys their summer! ☀️🕶️🌻

Check it out! We have added one more way to celebrate our students and staff!

The Family Silent Book Club has left us speechless! Look what some of our families had to say:

"...The Family Silent Book Club has been one of the most meaningful gatherings for my kids and me these past few months. Thank you, Mr. Luzon and Upchurch Elementary, for providing us the opportunity to come together, connect over reading, and even express ourselves through writing/sharing our own story..." -Stephanie Owen & family

"Participating in the family book club has been a truly rewarding experience for both my children and me. It has encouraged us to be more intentional about engaging in reading together and becoming more involved in one another's lives. Through this experience, I have gained a deeper appreciation for how much my children genuinely enjoy books and meaningful conversations about reading. Additionally, the book club has provided me with an opportunity to step away from the busyness of everyday life and rekindle my own love for reading." - The Yates Family

"The Family Silent Book Club became such a special experience for us because it encouraged creativity, confidence, and quality time together. Seeing [my child] turn a real-life lesson about perseverance into a story she was proud to share meant so much to me as a parent. This project reminded us how powerful encouragement, friendship, and storytelling can be for children. We are truly thankful to have been included in something so meaningful." -The Love Family.

¡El Club de Lectura Silenciosa Familiar nos ha dejado sin palabras! Miren lo que algunas de nuestras familias tuvieron que decir:

"...El Club de Lectura Silenciosa Familiar ha sido uno de los encuentros más significativos para mis hijos y para mí en estos últimos meses. Gracias, Sr. Luzon y Upchurch Elementary, por brindarnos la oportunidad de reunirnos, conectar a través de la lectura e incluso expresarnos mediante la escritura y el compartir de nuestras propias historias..." —Stephanie Owen y familia

"Participar en el club de lectura familiar ha sido una experiencia verdaderamente gratificante, tanto para mis hijos como para mí. Nos ha animado a ser más intencionales a la hora de leer juntos y a involucrarnos más en la vida de los demás. A través de esta experiencia, he desarrollado una apreciación más profunda de cuánto disfrutan realmente mis hijos de los libros y de las conversaciones significativas sobre la lectura. Además, el club de lectura me ha brindado la oportunidad de desconectar del ajetreo de la vida cotidiana y reavivar mi propio amor por la lectura". —La familia Yates

"El Club de Lectura Silenciosa Familiar se convirtió en una experiencia tan especial para nosotros porque fomentó la creatividad, la confianza y el tiempo de calidad juntos. Ver a [mi hijo/a] transformar una lección de la vida real sobre la perseverancia en una historia que se sentía orgulloso de compartir significó muchísimo para mí como padre. Este proyecto nos recordó lo poderosos que pueden ser el estímulo, la amistad y el arte de contar historias para los niños. Estamos verdaderamente agradecidos de haber sido incluidos en algo tan significativo". —La familia Love
